Constraining Z' widths from pT measurements in Drell-Yan processes
Constraining Z' widths from pT measurements in Drell-Yan processes
We define a Focus Point (FP) Asymmetry, AFP, obtained by integrating the normalised transverse momentum distribution of either lepton produced in the Drell-Yan (DY) process below and above a point where a variety of popular Z' models all have the same magnitude. For a given Z' mass the position of this FP is predictable, depending only on the collider energy and on the low transverse momentum cut chosen in the normalisation procedure. The resulting AFP is very sensitive to the Z' width, and can be used to constrain this parameter in experimental fits.

Abstract
We define a Focus Point (FP) Asymmetry, AFP, obtained by integrating the normalised transverse momentum distribution of either lepton produced in the Drell-Yan (DY) process below and above a point where a variety of popular Z' models all have the same magnitude. For a given Z' mass the position of this FP is predictable, depending only on the collider energy and on the low transverse momentum cut chosen in the normalisation procedure. The resulting AFP is very sensitive to the Z' width, and can be used to constrain this parameter in experimental fits.
